GAS- STOVE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 29, 1919.

Application filed December 3, 1917. Serial No. 205,072.

ticularly combination coal and gas ranges.

Stoves of the latter type are frequently provided with oven as burners which are removable or mova le within the oven into and out of operative position. The purpose of such an arrangement is to make all of the oven space available for cooking or baking when the stove is used exclusively as a coal range. y

The object of the present invention is to rovide an arrangement of burner in the liase plate of the oven, which does not re: quire that the burner be removed when the stove is to be used as a coal range, northat the burner be shifted from normal position when the stove is used as a gas range.

An illustrative embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 shows a plan view of an oven base plate and burner combined therewith.

Fig. 2 is a sectional detail on the line 22 of'Fig. 1.

In the arrangement shown in the drawing, the oven base plate 1 is provided with one or more depressions 2 in the form of gas burners, of proper depth so that these depressions may receive burners 3, with the tops of the burners substantially flush with the top of the base plate. For receiving the particular form of burner shown, the depression 2 in the base plate is in the form of a ring having a lateral branch 4 for receiving the shank 5 of the burner.

The central circular portion 6 of the base plate is preferably provided with an aperture 7 which serves as an air inlet for the central secondary air supply.

It may be seen that in the use of a stove constructed according to this invention, the

arrangement of burner in the base plate does I not interfere with the use of all the space between the four walls of the oven for cooking purposes.

Although but one specific embodiment of this invention has been herein shown and described, it will be understood that numerous details of the construction shown may be altered or omitted without departing from the spirit of the invention as defined by the following claim.

I claim:

In a stove of the class described, an oven, the bottom wall of said oven having an integral depressed portion in the form of a ring having a lateral branch, and a gas burner resting on and conforming to the shape of said depressed oortion of the bottom wall of the oven, sai bottom wall having an opening within the area circumscribed by said ring and serving as a secondary inlet.

Signed at Chicago this 9th day of Nov. 1917 WALTER F. ROGERS.
